Known for his sharp crowd work and his YouTube show Double or Nothing, Fanto blends raw honesty with humor while diving into deeply personal stories.

From growing up in the former Soviet Union to making his mark on the Los Angeles comedy scene, Fanto opens up about life, death, and the strange but meaningful signs that have shaped his perspective. With a mix of laughter, sincerity, and vulnerability, he reminds us that grief and connection can show up in unexpected ways.

About DEAD Talks

  DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio approaches death differently. Each guest shares raw stories of grief, loss, or unique perspectives that challenge the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn’t end—it evolves. After losing his father on September 11th at just 12 years old, David discovered the power of conversation. Through laughter, tears, and honest dialogue, DEAD Talks helps make it a little easier to talk about death, mourning, trauma, and the life that continues beyond it.
